Celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day

The second Monday of October is used by many to celebrate Indigenous Peoples" Day, as an alternative to Columbus Day, held on the same date. It highlights the customs and heritage of the Indigenous Peoples who lived in North America before the arrival of European settlers, and the devastating impact colonization had upon them.
